wine users - May 2008 - first translation patch - broken characters

Hi!

I managed after a couple of hours playing with git to get the first patch right
:


Code:

diff --git a/dlls/shell32/shell32_Fr.rc b/dlls/shell32/shell32_Fr.rc
index dd1a455..c59c20f 100644
--- a/dlls/shell32/shell32_Fr.rc
+++ b/dlls/shell32/shell32_Fr.rc

However the French special characters are broken when creating the diff. Is it
normal or what should I do?

right :

Unfortunately license is one of those things that should not be translated. Or
it will loose it's power. See for example here :
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/translations.html

What codepage have you used to edit the file? And what codepage have you used to
look at the diff? I know it works - Russian has all special characters :)
